Does anyone know where I can get a elbow sleeve like Ben Stokes wears?
-
Got mine on eBay bud, will get a link for you in a minute
-
Why?
You'd be able to pick up some compression dressing from any pharmacy. Well that's what I think it's called.
-
he wears tubigrip, its not a sleeve just something you use to support a joint.
get it in boots/asda anywhere that has a decent medical section.

I went for these because the ends were sewn, I had used that tubigrip stuff you cut yourself and the fraying annoyed me (and as I pulled it it unwound as I was fielding :-[ )

Cheers just the job :)

Tattooist!

Is that why Stokes is wearing it? New ink?

I wear Skins A400 sleeves as I tend to hyper-extend my elbow the wrong way sometimes. Not sure why it happens but they have certainly helped. I had some tubigrips but to get as much support, you really have to pile it on (Like Stokes) and they don't tend to be hard-wearing - but thats the fashion at the moment.
I would imagine for Stokes that its about injury or protection as he is not as 'big time' as someone like Pollard who it seems to be a fashion statement (Though fashion statement would be better that than what I heard - that he scrapes his elbows when diving so wears tubigrips to protect them!!)

I use the ones I posted above after hyper extending my elbow (which still locks up which isn't fun!)
Have to say the protect your elbows when diving is a decent idea though ;)

Could you get me a link to those skins please :)

Cheers buddy :)
-
Do you want this for medical purposes or just because stokes has one? Sorry if that sounds a but harsh but I'm curious
-
I need one because I dive around a lot in the field and i'm a bowler so I need to keep my elbow's in tact
-
Could always try a long sleeved shirt.
-
Tried it doesn't work

Eat a bit more so you're 4 stone over weight and nobody expects you to dive around mate, you get your money's worth at tea as well that way ;)
-
I like diving around in the field and we have pretty high standards so I gotta be pretty good in the field and I love my fielding

There's something seriously wrong with you..... You like fielding!
-
Well I love the game sooo.............
-
To be fair, I've worn tubi-grips on the elbows to help add a little protection, rolled up again to double up the padding. Just get a long one and fold it over mate. It'll do the trick and save you some ££££.

Cheers mate
